- Verse -
D G
Everybody wants a piece of some easy enterprise
D G
Can't this world cut your face and carry the news that you've got a gift to be given?
D G
Cut it out, cut your loss, you don't dream you fantasize
D G
And this is how we measure the cost of enjoying the pain of 21 years of good living
- Chorus -
Bm D
When you look at me do you see someone with a future?
Em G
Music to my ears it makes me happy when you tell me
Bm D
This place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing
Em G
One day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you sweat
D G
- Verse 2 -
D G
Gotta take something great just to get me out of bed
D G
And I woke up with a start, 'cause I had a dream, yes I had a vision of people
Bm
Lying in the sun
D
Sleeping on the rocks and stones
Em
Waiting just to die
F#m
They were just fast asleep like lions
G
They were just fast asleep like lions in summer
- Chorus -
When you look at me do you see someone with a future?
Music to my ears it makes me happy when you tell me
This place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing
One day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you
- Middle 8/Outro -
Bm D
Sweat out all the years of wasted time
G
Half divine
D C#
Half what you could be
Bm (w\ Bass Bb)
Oh, all this time they let this city
(w\ Bass A)
Get sad and empty
(w\ Bass G#)
'cause they're only half awake
G
when you look at me do you see someone with a future?
Em F# Bm
One day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you sweat
